The Act of Killing is a groundbreaking documentary that delves into the Indonesian mass killings of 1965-1966. Directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, the film challenges former death squad leaders to reenact their real-life atrocities in whatever cinematic genres they wish. This bold approach reveals the chilling banality of evil and the impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators. The film blurs the lines between reality and performance, offering a haunting exploration of memory, guilt, and the human capacity for violence.
